Album Notes

Andreas Rimheden and Marie Hagelqvist had occasionally recorded music together since the mid 90s. The style ranged from synthpop to minimalistic industrial songs and were often a crossover between these styles. Around the beginning of the new millenium they decided to really form a band together. They started producing songs for a full length album, which was eventually released in 2002 and was called Private Void.

During the first years Andreas and Marie used the old band name of an industrial/EBM band called Morticians that Andreas was previously involved in. This gave them a way more gothic appeal than what they were actually looking for. By 2003 they had come up with a more suiting name: Eternity Range, which is taken from the name of a most likely quite vast place on the South Pole.

The year 2003 was also when a third member joined the band: Loita Jahnsson, who plays the violin. She greatly enhanced the romantic yet dark mood of the music and brought another dimension to the bands live performances. By then the band had already made most of the songs for a second album on which their musical style has developed further into something more ethereal, sensitive and mellow; a darker form of synthpop with apparent strokes of industrial harshness and electronic cold. The inspiration for their music and lyrics is taken from life itself, from nightmares and from the many times that they are the same thing. Vulnerability, hopelessness, sorrow, fear and existential doubt are the main lyrical themes.

The second album by Eternity Range called Solitude was released in the summer 2005 by US label Kinetik Media.

During 2006 Eternity Range was joined by yet another member: the excellent singer Kent Björnsson who had previously been lead singer of the synthpop band Native Cry. Together with Kent Eternity Range is now producing a third album.
